{"product_id":"a-century-of-russian-martyrdom-volume-1","title":"A CENTURY OF RUSSIAN MARTYRDOM - Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis  book  is  a  collection  of  one  hundred  lives  of  holy  martyrs  and  confessors  who suffered  for  Christ  in  the  Russian  Church  in  the  twentieth  century.  The  roll-call  begins with  the  murder  of  Great  Prince  Sergius  Alexandrovich,  the  uncle  of  the  tsar,  in  1905, at  the  beginning  of  the  abortive  1905  revolution,  and  ends  with  the  death  of  the  most recent  confessor,  Archimandrite  Nectarius  of  Alexandria  (Ukraine)  and  Jerusalem,  at the  beginning  of  what  might  be  called  the  third  Russian  revolution,  that  of  Putin.  An introductory  chapter  describes  the  significance  of  the  feat  of  the  Holy  New  Martyrs and  Confessors  of Russia for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe  new  martyrs  and  confessors  number  in  the  hundreds  of  thousands,  if  not millions,  and  the  lives  recorded  in  this  book  constitute  only  a  small  portion  of  them. They  have  been  selected  according  to  three  main  criteria:  their  importance  in  the history  of  the  Church  in  this  period,  their  diversity  in  space  and  time,  in  rank  and occupation,  and  the  intrinsic  interest  and  instructiveness  of  their  lives.  Very  many lives  of  equal  interest  have  had  to  be  omitted  from  what  is  already  a  very  large  book, which  is  highly  regrettable.  Nevertheless,  we  can  only  rejoice  in  such  an  embarras  de richesse.  Through  the  prayers  of  our  Holy  Fathers,  and  of  the  Holy  New  Martyrs  and Confessors,  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  our God,  have mercy  on us!\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eOctober  19 \/November  1,  2020.
